Answer
This is an easy vegetarian recipe for whole grain quinoa flavored with garlic and Parmesan cheese. Although this is a very basic recipe, you can vary it by adding some fried tofu or whatever veggies you happen to have on hand. For a vegan version of this quinoa recipe, I smothered my quinoa in nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese and used olive oil in place of the butter.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
1 small yellow onion, diced small
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Preparation:
In a medium sized pan, sautee the onion and garlic in butter or olive oil over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, until onions are just soft. Reduce heat to medium low.

Add the vegetable broth and quinoa. Cover, and allow to simmer until liquid is mostly absorbed and quinoa is cooked, about fifteen minutes.

Remove from heat, and gently mix quinoa to distribute any excess moisture. Season with salt to taste, and top with Parmesan cheese, or, for a vegan version, mix in nutritional yeast instead of the cheese.

Makes 3 servings of vegetarian quinoa.

Answer
I love the hungry girl website
www.hungry-girl.com

But these are recipes that I have made over the years.
Spread reg or flavored hummus and veggies (fresh or sauteed) in flavored tortilla wraps (spinach, sundried tomato--Trader Joes has about 10 different kinds)
you could also add grilled chicken and veggies in wrap

Wheat pita pocket w/ stir fry- Slice pita in half add grilled or sauteed red and green peppers, onions, broccolli,
pead pods or snap peas (any veggies good for a stir fry)

Veggie Clubhouse Sandwich- 2 Slices of bread (you can use spelt if you want of whole grain) spread no fat or light cream cheese red onion, avocado, spinanch leaves, sliced English cucumbers, sliced tomato(can omit if youre worried about Salmonella) and peppers (red or yellow) add salt or pepper to taste

Roasted Vegetables
Red onion chunked, carrots cut,sweet potato, beetroot, garlic cloves toss w/ a little olive oil and rosemary roast in oven or grill

Baked apples (Tastes like apple pie)
Core Apple, Add inside of apple cinammon, splenda(nutra sweet), and a little fresh lemon juice.I usually squeeze a little lemon juice in a leave a piece of the lemon rind in so that the cinammon and splenda don't bubble over but cook in.
Place in baking dish with a little water and bake until soft. (You can add nutmeg also)

Broccoli Slaw
Buy a bag of broccolli slaw (Broccoli Wockly) add in dried
cranberries and a few cashews (no salt or raw work well)
Add in Mazerrati's light or fat free colesalw dressing
